As Di Tian and Zi Ji are members of the dragon clan, even if they have their own ideas, the pressure of their bloodline will force them to obey the Silver Dragon King unconditionally. They will naturally not disobey the other party's explicit requests, so they naturally restrained Wang Rui's feet and forced him to practice in the core area.
The matter was eventually left unresolved, and cursed soul bones became a superstition of the ancients thousands of years later. After the establishment of the Beast Sect, naturally few soul masters dared to brush mystical soul bones in the Star Dou Great Forest... But Wang Rui had no way to monitor other small soul beast settlements.
Poachers are always there.
This was also the first time that Wang Rui made it clear that Xingdou was not entirely his own manpower, and he needed a force that only obeyed his command.
And this secret method of bone solidification is indeed strange.
Wang Rui studied this secret technique carefully, and he vaguely felt that this secret technique did not seem like a native technology of Douluo Continent - this secret technique was too universal, and as long as the cultivation was sufficient, any martial spirit could use it. Compared with the various skills and secret techniques of Douluo Continent, it was too abrupt.
Because of the existence of martial souls, the soul power characteristics of all soul masters with different martial souls on Douluo Continent are also very different. If we put it in other fantasy worlds, each different martial soul is a completely different physique. Under such conditions, it is difficult for the skills to spread widely. For example, a soul master summarized a set of skills for running soul power, but this skill is based on his own martial soul and soul power. It is naturally difficult for a person with a different martial soul to use it. Those powerful skills are almost only spread within the family or sect with the same martial soul.
The only two exceptions are the most basic and weakest basic meditation method and...Xuantian Gong.
Everyone knows what the Xuan Tian Gong is. Wang Rui also stole a copy of the Xuan Tian Gong. Perhaps it was because Tang San's original world was a relatively low-magic martial arts world, and everyone's physique was relatively ordinary, so the Xuan Tian Gong was moderate enough to adapt to all soul masters with different martial souls - but the Xuan Tian Gong was only a cheat when used by the God King Tang, and those with slightly distinctive martial souls would delay their own cultivation if they used the Xuan Tian Gong.
Wang Rui was very confident in the research ability of the Douluo people, and there were many "innovations" in the bone-condensing secret method. Maybe it was innovation, or maybe it was something new from other worlds. It was hard to say, because at the top level, most of the different worlds actually used the same power in different ways. Maybe there was a traverser who localized the knowledge of his own system, or a genius who was ahead of his time.
There is another possibility that Wang Rui is most reluctant to guess - this thing was passed down from the divine realm.
Under this premise, the bone-hardening secret technique almost has "I am suspicious" written all over it.
Wang Rui also tried to track down the person who invented the secret method of bone coagulation, but...
The secret soul bone first appeared more than nine thousand years ago, when the situation was too chaotic.
In today's historical records, the period of Spirit Hall's rule is often described as a dark era full of corruption and oppression. However, no one remembers that the collapse of the Spirit Hall behemoth was the beginning of a bloody carnival.
At that time, Tang San had just ascended to heaven and was probably handing over his work to the old Shura God. Wang Rui carefully stayed by the Lake of Life, guarding against the few old shadows who had not yet left the God Realm. The Beast Sect had not been established, but the small soul beasts that had infiltrated human society continuously brought intelligence back to Xingdou, so the news was still well-informed.
Tang San found the inheritance of the divine throne for his team, and ascended to the divine realm with the Shrek Six Monsters. However, their hasty ascension also left many hidden dangers.
For a time, the human world fell into turmoil - the degree of chaos was even greater than when the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent collided - but for some reason, human history books omitted the description of this period of history. The only records of ten thousand years ago were the chapters praising the seven monsters' ascension to gods. Ten thousand years later, almost no human remembered the bloody rain and bloody wind of the thousand years.
On the Xingluo royal family's side, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing ascended to heaven early. Their offspring were too young, and because their parents were too high-ranking, no one dared to teach them, so they became corrupted early on.
As the heir to the throne, Dai Zhu's son's lack of talent was his biggest sin. However, the ministers, for their own benefit, turned to support different heirs.
The young ruler of Xingluo was threatened by his older brothers, the ministers had their own plans, and the entire country was plunged into civil strife.
But Xingluo is still relatively good; the political situation in the Tiandou Empire is even worse.
The Tiandou Emperor Xue Beng had not received any orthodox education as a royal heir.
When the Fourth Prince was young, he was suppressed by Xue Qinghe, disguised as Qian Renxue, and had to pretend to be a playboy to survive, but in fact... to put it more euphemistically, this Majesty is very average in character, ability and strength. Even if Qian Renxue had not intervened, he would not have been able to ascend the throne.
He is ambitious but short-sighted, and has all the qualities of a tyrant. However, he is extremely weak, yet he has the title of disciple of the God of the Sea.
As the saying goes, we are not afraid of the rich second generation spending money recklessly, but we are afraid of them starting businesses recklessly. The same is true for the emperor.
Xue Beng, who had endured humiliation for more than 20 years, naturally wanted to make a career. He wanted to take back the small principalities around him that had been divided and declared independence. But the situation at that time did not allow Tian Dou to send troops, and there were naturally voices of dissuasion in the country, which he regarded as obstacles to his centralization of power. Xue Beng wanted to centralize power, so he naturally needed a target to establish his authority... After all, he had long regarded the various sects in the country, except for the Tang Sect and the Haotian Sect, as thorns in his eyes.
Coincidentally, Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was once Xue Qinghe's teacher. As for the grudge between them... Let's not talk about this. Back then, Ning Fengzhi used some means to make Emperor Xue Ye regain his vitality and shortened the life of the late emperor. This alone was enough to make him suffer during the post-war settlement.
By the way, the Green Phosphorus Snake King, who had killed so many people, was also accused of violating the laws of nature and could not escape punishment.
Even if he didn't kill a lot of people, with Avalanche's character, he wouldn't be able to tolerate this threat. It's great that someone else can take the blame.
When the seven monsters ascend, the time for reckoning will naturally come.
At that time, it seemed that Xue Beng was short-sighted enough. He dared to blatantly find excuses to suppress a group of sects headed by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, ignoring the two gods behind the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile, and did not care whether Tiandou at that time could withstand such turmoil.
But in the long run, the Qibao Liuli and other sects were indeed suppressed and severely damaged, and they were not even considered third-rate forces. The Nine-Colored Goddess did not even fart in the sky. From this point of view, it is difficult to say that Avalanche was simply stupid.
The Tang Sect is the only dominant sect and is happy to see this situation. It can even be said that it is eager to devour the last value of those sects that were suppressed by the avalanche. Shrek Academy has never claimed to be a sect, but it has replaced the Spirit Hall and become the place of faith for spirit masters all over the world, with a respected status. However, the Haotian Sect is not well-liked by Tang San because of its embarrassing past with Tang Hao, and has quietly gone into seclusion.
It was just to completely uproot the most business-savvy of the three top sects back then. How many people would be implicated as the sharks that smelled blood competed for interests?
In order to deter the villains who coveted the sect, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect changed the name of the sect that had been passed down from generation to generation to Nine Treasures Glazed - even though there was not a single Nine Treasures Glazed Tower in the sect - to remind the world that a Nine-Colored Goddess had once emerged from Nine Treasures Glazed.
But what's the use? What if Ning Rongrong and Oscar became gods? When Ning Fengzhi worked hard for the sect and died prematurely, did the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect see the Nine-Colored Goddess descend?
Wang Rui had met Ning Fengzhi several times.
After all, he was also curious about the characters in the plot, but the core ones were being watched by the old pervert in the God Realm, so it was not easy for him to spy on them. Ning Fengzhi was more of a marginal figure, so it was okay for him to take a sneak peek when they came out to hunt souls.
The last time I saw Ning Fengzhi was in the eleventh year after the Seven Monsters ascended to heaven. He came out to hunt souls with the sect’s last hope. The Soul Saint of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower, who was just sixty years old, had a head full of white hair. His manners were still calm and elegant, but his eyes were haggard and tired.
Wang Rui only needed one glance to know that he would not live long.
Sure enough, not long after, news came from Tiandou that Ning Feng had died of illness.
Wang Rui did consider detaining Ning Fengzhi's soul, but unlike Ma Hongjun who still missed his wife ten thousand years later, Ning Fengzhi might not be able to contain Ning Rongrong and Oscar ten thousand years later. Judging from the reaction of the Nine-Colored Goddess, at least Wang Rui Benni was not optimistic about this. The Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda was a weapon spirit, which was different from Bai Chenxiang's beast spirit, and Ning Fengzhi himself didn't seem to want to live... Wang Rui didn't bother with this idea.
I just wonder if Ning Fengzhi ever thought before he died, how great it would be if he was the one who got the Qiluo Tulip, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion thought secretly.
The topic has gone a bit off track, let’s get back to the point.
No matter how much the political situation between Xingluo and Tiandou resembled a sandal debate, they still joined forces harmoniously to accomplish something big.
Happy National Day!
The content of this chapter is largely based on the author's own speculation. If you don't like it, please don't scold me. Thank you.
It's like this, I've revived myself, but I can't guarantee that I'll be resurrected successfully, because my overall condition is really bad, my physical condition is very bad, I've been diagnosed with a disease that requires recuperation, and my work is not very easy. Now I'm rotated to a department that is basically the most unhappy. In the two weeks since I returned to work, I've encountered three unreasonable and serious troubles. I'm in a branch hospital in the suburbs, and my commute time is only four hours a day. I also get carsick...
It's basically a dead eel, the kind that's not fresh enough to grill...
Let's make do with it, everyone.
104. Chapter 102 The Angel Disappeared Quietly
104.
2023-10-02
Apart from the political struggles among the top leaders of the two empires, Xingluo and Tiandou tacitly carried out the same task - to completely encircle and eliminate the remaining forces of the Spirit Hall.
In the Douluo Dalu novel, Tang San and the royal families of the two empires are portrayed as poor little people who are oppressed and infiltrated by the Spirit Hall. The war they rise up against the Spirit Hall is naturally just... But in reality, it is really hard to tell which side the people's hearts are on.
Perhaps the nobles and the sects are loyal to the imperial family and their motherland, but for the commoners whose awakening ceremony is organized by the Spirit Hall and the low-level spirit masters who are favored... who cares what the surname of the emperor is?
If we compare who is worse, it is true that the Spirit Hall has a lot of problems, but it is obvious that the nobles of the empire are worse.
It's just that the Spirit Hall was defeated, and the corruption and evil deeds of the high-ranking officials of the empire were all taken as if if the Spirit Hall fell, the darkness in the world would disappear and the lives of civilians would get better.
The Spirit Hall has ruled the continent for a thousand years, like a giant tree firmly rooted in this land. After the battle of Jialing Pass, the trunk of the tree has been cut down, but its roots still penetrate every inch of soil on the continent.
Even a six-year-old child understands the principle of cutting the grass at its roots, let alone the two empires? How could the rulers of the two empires allow the Spirit Hall, which has such a far-reaching influence, to leave behind remnants that threaten their rule?
So the team that was investigating the remnants of the Spirit Hall plowed the continent over and over again, and would rather kill the wrong ones than let them go.
Tang San did tell the Spirit Hall to spare his life if his opponent surrendered, but who at the time could not see that it was just a polite remark? When he was not yet a god, he had a kill-with-no-resort attitude towards the Spirit Hall, and when Bibi Dong asked him to spare Qian Renxue, whose godhood was shattered, and Hu Liena, who posed no threat, Tang San's evasion, who could not see what he was thinking?
Even if he meant what he said, it was clear that even during the years when Poseidon was still active on earth, he had no intention of ensuring that the two empires followed his oracle.
Not stopping it is tacit approval.
So, at first, the high-level officials of the Spirit Hall who did not participate in the war were executed outside the capitals of the two countries, then their families and the high-level officials of the various branches of the Spirit Hall were arrested and executed, followed by the lower-level personnel working in the Spirit Hall, and then those who were closely related to the Spirit Hall... In the end, it turned into a situation where soul masters with no background took to the streets and swear that they had never received subsidies from the Spirit Hall and absolutely did not miss the rule of the Spirit Hall.
Slander and frame-up are endless. Some people enjoy the power to judge others, some use it to exclude dissidents, and some are swept away by the trend to become perpetrators. Everything has long been out of control.
It is true that humans persecute soul beasts, but they are equally ruthless when it comes to killing their own kind.
Even the most brutal soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest would sigh that human life is so cheap when seeing this.
This sounds ridiculous, but it is perfectly normal for humans. If we replace the so-called remnants of the Spirit Hall with witches or any besieged group, we can fully understand this social phenomenon.
As Wuhun City collapsed, the statue of the holy angel with an expressionless face toppled over, and the stone head rolled far away. The Golden-roofed Douluo Palace, which was once regarded as a faith by countless soul masters, was burning with flames.
The imperial army, like bandits, looted this once prosperous city. Most of the valuable knowledge was taken over by the biggest victor, Shrek Academy. However, some valuable information was still missing, and part of the research results of the Spirit Hall were lost.
——Most of the lost parts are related to soul beasts, and the not innocent Three-Eyed Golden Lion praised this. However, Xingdou had very few chess pieces to use at that time, and the soul beasts like Little Mouse only got a small part of the information during the chaos.
The most crucial records about the Three-Eyed Golden Lion were too confidential and were kept very closely, so they were unable to obtain them.
But it doesn’t matter, because the Spirit Hall doesn’t know much.
This chaos lasted for thousands of years, and in the end, it turned into a chaotic carnival.
The Star Forest quietly accepted some of the persecuted people who sought shelter and lived in seclusion. The descendants of this group of people became the first human disciples of the Beast Sect.
In fact, the pretext of hunting down the remnants of the Spirit Hall was simply not enough to support this absurd carnival that lasted for a thousand years. This was only an apparent reason for the world to see. What actually made the royal family support this long pursuit was a much more hidden and huge interest.
The two women who were spared by the Sea God and were supposed to spend the rest of their lives under the surveillance of the two empires, disappeared.
Qian Renxue and Hu Liena disappeared from the prison where they were imprisoned.
The subsequent rigorous searches for the remnants of the Spirit Hall were probably to hunt them down.
In fact, Hu Liena is just a small, insignificant addition. What is really important is Qian Renxue, the former angel god.
Even though she had fallen from the position of a god, Qian Renxue had once broken through to that realm. In the eyes of the world, she was simply a living key to the realm of the gods. Her experience, her perception, her blood, her flesh, her set of bones that had been passed down in the Spirit Hall for thousands of years and had once been transformed into an angel's divine outfit, and even her womb, were all coveted by the world.
When a whale dies, how many lives can its flesh and blood feed as it sinks to the bottom of the sea?
The first dead whale was monopolized by Shrek, and Qian Renxue was still alive, but she had also become a dead whale in the eyes of the two empires, and people had begun arguing over how to divide the benefits from her.
There are always optimists who believe that even if Qian Renxue has fallen in realm, she is still a strong person with a god-level martial soul and even dual extreme attributes. She has a full soul bone and the insights after becoming a god, and even the Titled Douluo cannot touch her.
But in reality, how serious would the injury be to cause a deity to fall from a certain realm? As a defeated person, could she have a comfortable environment to recover from her injury? Not to mention that the quality of her martial spirit had also fallen.
Qian Renxue was just a golden cooked duck, but no one expected that this golden duck to be carved would fly off the plate like this.
This siege lasted for nearly a thousand years before it came to an abrupt end. However, to this day, there are still people who firmly believe that the former angel god is still secretly alive in some corner, like a treasure that is eager to be excavated by the world.
After all, how could a former god die so easily?
Wang Rui thought those people were all idiots.
It was during that chaotic time that the secret bone-solidifying technique became popular.
In such a context, human actions are restricted everywhere, not to mention soul beasts. And because people are in danger of losing their lives, many clues cannot be traced.
Wang Rui interrogated those soul masters who came to Xingdou to brush the secret soul bones, but the ways they obtained the secret method of bone solidification were different. Some received commissions from masked men, some got the secret method from pawnshops, some got it from members of the Spirit Hall, some attacked other poachers, and some even picked up a secret book on the ground very directly. The time interval was not long... It sounded like the secret method of bone solidification was spread everywhere overnight.
The three-eyed golden lion, who had a dirty heart, keenly smelled the scent of conspiracy.
This matter involved too many people and things, and even Wang Rui used the Eye of Destiny but was unable to sort out this mess.
If this thing was spread by the natives, why didn't he keep it for himself to make a profit? If there really was a time traveler, did he know the original work, and what was his purpose? In theory, the appearance of a time traveler would inevitably be accompanied by a huge disturbance of fate, and such fluctuations would definitely not escape Wang Rui's eyes, but nothing is absolute...
Or maybe, this secret method was put down by some shady old man in the God Realm specifically to weaken soul beasts? After all, suppressing political enemies and their former subordinates is not something that a God King would be ashamed of.
